1927: Europe is healing.
Berlin is burning—bright with decadence, danger, and change.

Still probably the single Itch of Writing post I’m most proud of as a piece of writing and thinking. https://buff.ly/4juKR6O And actually, the deeper I am in the trenches of writing fiction or creative non-fiction, the more often I also come back to these ideas.

Can you all share this? It's a series by the BBC of great actors reading abridged versions of books such as Ken and The Lonely Londoners. It's so well done and a gift for anyone who struggles or doesn't like book in hand reading. Check it out and reskeet or whatever it's called. Cheers.
